Harlem, stand up! The Diplomats are reunited and the Uptown collective — Cam'ron, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana and Freekey Zekey — are set to bring their revived outfit to 1515 where they'll be our guests on "RapFix Live." Dipset will kick off the second season of MTV News' hip-hop live stream show on Thursday at 4 p.m. ET on MTV.com.

After an internal spat caused disruption among the charismatic crew, they slowly began repairing the damaged relationships. In February 2009, Cam'ron told MTV News that he and Jones had spoken for the first time in years. From that point on, the two childhood friends inched closer to a reconciliation that eventually resulted in their comeback concert this past November.

"It's a good feeling," Jones explained to MTV News about the crew's new mindset. "Everybody just comes to the table with their best. It's brotherly competition so it only makes it better. Above all, we came back together for the brotherhood. We grew up together, so there was a love that was lost there. We regained that and it's time for music."

The Dipset members will sit down with Sway to discuss the status of their comeback, from their forthcoming mixtape to their rumored deal with Interscope Records.

"Shout-outs to Dre, that was the most incredible experience in my career," Jones said shortly after a flick of Dipset working with the West Coast producer appeared online. "Dr. Dre came to our studio, which was even more incredible. That was dope. We got to do a few songs with him. He coached me a bit."

Fans can ask them anything they wish, by tweeting to @MTVRapFix with the hashtag #rapfixlive.
